Local government in Northern Ireland: areas, functions and finance
Lawrence, R. J.
The main objects of this paper are to show that local government in
Northern Ireland needs to be reorganised, and to suggest some possible
reforms. I begin by noting the chief landmarks in the evolution of Irish
local government, and I then summarise salient changes since Northern
Ireland was established. Against this background we shall, I think, be
able to form a judgment about the sort of reforms that are desirable and
practicable.

State enterprise and economic planning in the Irish Republic
Bristow, J. A.
The establishment of public enterprise in the Republic owes little to
ideology, except perhaps before the war when the ideal of national selfsufficiency
played some part in the decision to set up such bodies as the
Irish Sugar Company In the main, state enterprise has resulted from ad
hoc attempts to fill gaps left by private investment, or to resuscitate or
reorganise industries which were ineffective but regarded as essential.

The aged in three western societies
Friis, Henning
'A comparative social survey on living conditions and behaviour of the
aged in Denmark, Great Britain and U.S.A.'- subtitle.
Through the last fifteen years important new territory has been conquered
in social gerontology in most of the countries of the Western
world. Social gerontology is, however, still at an early stage of development.
Most countries lack basic facts on many aspects of the life of elderly
people, and theoretical generalizations regarding the social factors in the
aging process are only beginning to be established.
The result is that a number of untested stereotypes and myths have
grown up round the elderly in Western countries.
